950 Words4 Pages

Over the limit.
It was a saturday night of my senior year in high school. The time was about 11:49. I was driving down county road 3120 also know as old St. james road. It 's late and I’m on my way to my friends house not really paying attention. When all of a sudden i notice a car creeping along the road, almost stopped as if it were a deer in headlights.

After waiting for an eternity the officer finally came up to my car with his flashlight that could probably be seen from space it was so bright. Then he began to follow protocol. “Young man are you aware of how fast you were going”. I decided to lie and try to get out of the ticket by saying that I had no clue how fast I was going but my curfew was in 2 minutes and I lived on the next road. Then he threw it on me,”young man i could take you to jail for how fast you were going, but since you 're almost home i’m just going to write you a citation for 70 in a 35”. When i told him i was pretty sure I was doing 60, which would’ve saved me a lot of money, he said, “argue with me some more and let’s see where that lands you tonight”. So i just shut my mouth and said yes sir, but if i would 've asked to see the radar and it said 60 I could 've gotten out of my ticket for him lying, but even if he was lying about my speed he still could’ve taken me to jail and pretty faces like this don 't belong in jail. I’m still not sure if he bought it still or not but the officer took my Driver 's license and my proof of insurance and headed back to his patrol car. This is when I started investigating to see what form of

    I would be very calm and show the person who stopped me that there is no reason for profiling me, because getting angry and being difficult only makes things worse. I feel that there is no escape from racial profiling especially in these tense times. Bob Herbert’s article, “Jim Crow Policing” Publishes in the New York Times on February 2, 2010, states that “The New York City Police Department needs to be restrained”, and I believe that his evidence shows this to be true. The author goes on showing statistic after statistic about the type of people that are stopped by the NYPD and more importantly their nationality. Bob Herbert is not writing this article to bash the NYPD, but to educate the people of America that although we may think racism and humiliation is gone, in New York it is still very prevalent.
